Inhalt:
In this seminar we will engage with theoretical and practical developments in the context of African feminist movements. The diversity of African feminist approaches and their respective heterogeneous historical geneses, in the broader field of feminist and political anthropology, will be central to our discussions. By way of readings from African and African-diasporan contexts, we will work through an intersectional range of topics including gender and sexuality, class, racism, colonialism; we will consider existing attempts at differentiating between ‘white’ and ‘non-white’ feminisms; we will consider the language and political demands that are linked to these positions; and will take into consideration the gendered roles of women and men across these movements. This seminar a) offers anthropological reflections on African Feminisms as method and theorical tool for the analysis of global injustices and political processes (activism, research, policy making etc.), b) opposes the ongoing marginalization of African feminist thinkers and theorists across anthropological canons, c) contextualises African feminist theory-making on the spectrum of what are commonly referred to as ‘Black Feminisms’, and d) contributes to a more nuanced understanding of what we commonly refer to as ‘Feminism’ in general.
